Communication is the skill which made us distinct amongst the animals. Along with our ability to think, it has brought progress in the world. Since we have been born with superb inbuilt tools for communication, we often think we are born with good communication skills too. Wonder why? Just because we have been doing it all our life.

It is true that from childhood you have been given verbal and non verbal inexplicit instructions on how to behave and talk to people. In spite of this, how many of us interrupt while others speak? On the other hand, how many of us can confidently say we are good in handling interruption?

While we are talking to others, seldom do we stop and ask ourselves what is it that I am trying to communicate? There is no definite goal for most of our conversations. From the childhood, we are taught that those who can talk faster are usually sharper than others. I am not suggesting that every time you talk, you should stop and think of all words? Whenever you are expressing a thought to someone, it is a good idea if you have an overall picture of what are you trying to convey. If you have a picture or a sound in mind that you want to convey, it will be much easier to achieve your goal. This is not applicable just for people, every business also should train its employees on business communication skills so they can represent in an appropriate manner in the market place. It is not just the words that do the job, it’s a lot of other things too. Many people believe that it’s their technical skills or better yet – the skills they don’t possess – that prevent them from professional success. While technical skill sets and experience will always be important when companies are making hiring or promotional decisions, possessing good communication skills can be the ultimate qualifier in deciding whether or not to move someone forward. When two, three or more persons are being interviewed for a job position, usually...

...character as Miller intended.
The use of space, both indoor and outdoor, is an important element of Hytner’s adaptation of The Crucible. Hytner has made some significant changes to the setting, staging more scenes outside involving the citizens of Salem unlike what Miller originally intended. Yet whilst not faithful to the text this decision by Hytner is effective in conveying to the audience Miler’s idea of the blur between the public and private world, as well as visually displaying the uncontrollable spread of rumour and hysteria within Salem. For instance, in Act 3 Proctor confronts Danforth in the “meeting house” rather than the “vestry room” as intended in the play. This larger space reinforces the authority of the court by dwarfing Proctor, a visual metaphor for his lack of power against the governing theocracy and court. As the scene progresses outside due to the children’s fear of the “yellow bird” Hytner employs camera techniques and music to heighten the sense of panic and chaos. As the girls run outside the citizens of Salem also gather around in equal terror, thus displaying to the audience the clear spread of hysteria. The swooping overhead camera angles help to demonstrate to the audience what the children are afraid of and the music is quick in order to reiterate the frenzy of fear and accusation that has gripped Salem. When standing in the sea Proctor is an isolated figure not only from his position, both in the frame...

WhatMakes a Good Ad?
In order for an advertisement to be effective it must grasp a viewer’s interest and provide relevant, meaningful details to convey a message. When designing an advertisement artists will use many different tactics and techniques to target specific audiences and portray certain messages. The advertisement for People in Need shows a poor, poverty stricken African woman laying in a desolate landscape holding a fancy looking handbag. People in Need is a charity organization based in the Czech Republic that works to help citizens of third world countries who are struggling with poverty and disease. This People in Need advertisement uses simple concepts such as materialistic associations, color contrast, and price comparison to gain immediate attention from an audience and get across its thought provoking message. The advertisement, without a doubt, forces a question of moral responsibility and ethical concern upon its audience suggesting that people who live lives of excess have forgotten and neglected those who live in poverty.
The first object that a viewer’s eye is drawn to in the advertisement is the stark white, brand new handbag in the center of the frame. This beautiful looking handbag seems extremely out of place once the viewer examines the background of the photo. Normally, a handbag like this would be sitting next to hundreds of other...

...WHATMAKES A GOOD TEACHER?
In this essay I want to talk about ten of the qualities that make a good teacher. My method is absolutely unscientific. Readers who want to know what exerts say about good teaching should stop reading right now and open to a different page of Inspiring Teaching. Readers who want to know what Pete has noticed about good teaching are welcome to read on. My evidence is personal, memorial, observational, and narrow. I have known teachers in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Texas, England, and China. Like Henry David Thoreau, I refuse to apologize for writing so much about myself. There is, simply, no one else I know as well. My hope is that my readers will be inspired to think far less about what I have noticed makes a good teacher than about what they themselves have noticed.

...Whatmakes a good website?
Introduction
In my opinion whatmakes a good web page? I have been on the net for the last, can't really believe it, coming to ten years now. From the conception to now, I have been a regular surfer on the web, visiting thousands of pages a month, mostly in search of some thing or another. Most searches have lead to even more searches but some times I come up tops. Having been used to the all text sites of the beginning, and seeing the first implementations of more graphic based sites, there was a three-year lapse where I rarely got to surfing and missed a whole evolution in web page. When I returned in full to surfing, I discovered the face of the internet have started to change. Buttons with pictures, navigation systems, some that even worked, all and all better thought out sites that where pleasing to look at and better to work with. This was probably due to the introduction of java script and more complex versions of html. Before then what made a sight good or bad, for me, was more based on contents. As this change came to be my expectations of sites changed as well. When, at first, we where happy to have hyperlinked, underlined blue text, now we expect to have a good, easy to use, constant navigation system. Where bad resolution bitmaps where the norm, now we want smooth animated graphics. The way we...

...Whatmakes a good friend
Good friends are capable to make your life better. Good friends are not just people with whom you like to spent your free time and have fun. If you are in company of good friends, you can share your thoughts and emotions. A good friend is someone who understands you and helps you to choose between right and wrong.
People who have good friends are very lucky. Having someone which you trust and whom you go to in difficult times is a big achievement. You know you have someone who will always stand by you no matter of what. You feel secure, you feel wanted and you feel a lot confident in yoursself. Life without true friends and true friendship is uninteresting.
So whatmakes a good friends? A good friend must accept you for who you are. He must not agree with you if he thinks that you are making mistake. A good friend will never lie to you, I think that friendship is based on truth. A person who has habit of lie will never be a good friend. I think that a good friend must be a good listener too. A person who doesn’t like to listen to others can’t be a good friend. This kind of people give themselves and their problems the biggest importance and don’t like to listen to other people’s...

...WHATMAKES A GOOD TEACHER?
Ex.1. Warming- Up
1) Do you agree that to be a good teacher you must be genuinely interested in what you are doing?
2) Give your argumentative comments on the following statements:
a) An ignorant teacher teaches ignorance, a fearful teacher teaches fear, and a bored teacher teaches boredom. A good teacher catalyzes in his pupils the burning desire to know and love for the truth and beauty.
b) “A great teacher is a great artist and you know how few great artists there are in the world. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since its medium is the human mind and the human spirit” (John Steinbeck).
Ex.2. Read the text and explain why teachers a supposed to be so different from people of other professions. Speak about your attitude to the idea expressed in the title.
A Teacher’s Lot Is Certainly a Different One
Say “teacher” and a clear image forms in people’s minds. People usually think that teachers, if female, are intense, persistent creatures, and if male, are a little strange. They would refer to teachers they know and proceed to generalizations, most frequently concerning their quarrelsome emotional way of discussing things, their dictatorial or pedantic tendencies and, above all, their boring inability to talk about anything other than their jobs.
Teachers themselves have a...

Whatmakes a good movie good?
I admire movies and cannot live without them. Some movies taught me important principles in my life, some created memories that will never get erased and some made me laugh so hard till I cried; that is why I love movies. However, there are several movies that I watched, but I do not remember their story at all. For a movie to affect me and stay in my memory, it should include three important factors: good actors, a good director and an attractive story.
To begin with, actors make the greatest effect on a movie’s popularity. Some star actors are trusted that they will never make a pointless movie. For example, I believe that Leonardo Dicaprio and Angelina Jolie will always make excellent effective movies. In addition, most of the audience enter movies if they know their favorite actor is starring. For instance, I know several people who watched “Chef” just because they saw Robert Downy Jr on the poster. They were shocked to discover that he performed in one scene only. Moreover, it is said that if a movie is produced with no star actors, its failure is almost guaranteed. Nowadays, all movies include at least one star. To sum it up, star actors highly affect the movie as they attract their...
